Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs L Kushch brought claims of unauthorised deductions from wages and holiday pay against West-End Galleries Limited (company number 09972474). The matter was heard at London South (Croydon via CVP) on 19 January 2026 before Employment Judge Wright. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not attend and had not replied to the claim, so Rule 22(3) applied.
The Tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £2,287.94 for underpayment of the national minimum wage and £592 for failure to pay holiday pay. The Tribunal also ordered the respondent to pay £1,229 under s.24(2) Employment Rights Act 1996 in respect of Universal Credit owed by the claimant to the DWP. The total sum due to the claimant is £4,108.94 gross, with the claimant to account to HMRC for any deductions due on the sum of £2,879.94. A declaration of unauthorised deduction from wages was made.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
